The Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer was created by de Gaulle's provisional government in 1944 specifically to issue currency in liberated and overseas French territories — a deliberate mechanism for reasserting French monetary authority in the colonies after the chaos of wartime occupation currencies. This 500 Francs note served across a remarkably broad geography, circulating in territories from the French Antilles to Réunion, depending on overprint or the absence of one.
Clément Serveau was a prolific designer for French colonial issues of this period, and the engraving work was split between two of the Banque de France's senior craftsmen. Camille Beltrand came from one of the great dynasties of French bank note engravers — his father Jules was equally prominent in the trade.
